While the long term vision may be clear, intermediate goals bring us back to reality. The following are realistic issues discussed in some cities.

Evangelism Goal: While the vision is the gospel to every person, realistic questions might be: "How do you move the majority of congregations into some form of cell group dynamic that has an evangelistic contact at street level?"

Church Growth Goals: "How do you move the city from 10% Christian to 12% to 15% five years, ten years from now? How many cells are needed? How many new churches? How many revived churches? What renewal or church growth movements?"

Renewal Goals: In Seattle, Don Douglas asked the question, " Over a two year period of seminars what issues need to be dealt with that will prepare the church will face in the 21st century?"

Transformation Goals: Establish a Leadership team for each of the twelve sectors of society that are significant in this city.
